    PS.

    Den skolen, midt på bildet fra Dagbladet, det er John Moores University, i Liverpool.

    Og det er rett bort i gata, fra hostellet jeg bodde på, i Liverpool, sommeren 2005.

    Og da pleide jeg å sitte der, som bildet er tatt fra, på en benk.

    Og det var det eneste stedet i byen, som jeg klarte å få noe ro.

    For jeg ble spionert på, og sånn, av folk som prata bak ryggen på meg osv., uansett hvor jeg gikk omtrent.

    F.eks. så kikka folk inn vinduet, på hostellet, til TV-stua der.

    Så fra der det bildet er tatt, så ringte jeg den engelske ambassaden i Oslo f.eks., for å spørre dem om sånn National Insurance-number, for eksempel, som man må ha for å jobbe i England.

    For det hadde jeg fått høre, her i Liverpool, at det var så vanskelig å få.

    Men den britiske ambassaden i Oslo, de sa at det var ikke noe problem.

    Så da kunne jeg fortelle det videre, på jobbintervju osv.

    Og de på den britiske ambassaden i Oslo, de var også veldig høflige og ordentlige når jeg ringte, husker jeg.

    Så det var noen av de få, som har hjulpet meg noe, som jeg kan komme på i farta, etter at jeg ble jaget fra Larvik og Norge, i 2005, det var den britiske ambassaden i Oslo.

    Så da får jeg prøve å si takk til de og, for det var faktisk bra hjelp, for å få seg jobb, for da kunne jeg bare si det som ambassaden i Oslo sa.

    At det ikke var noe problem med National Insurance-number, for norske statsborgere.

    Så sånn var det.

    De var de eneste jeg kunne komme på å ringe, for jeg regna med at de visste det.

    Mens den norske ambassaden i London.

    Jeg ringte også de, for å spørre om råd, om hva jeg skulle gjøre, hvis jeg gikk tom for penger, i England.

    Men de kunne ikke hjelpe meg, isåfall.

    Neida.

    De kunne bare ringe familie, og spørre om de kunne låne meg penger.

    Men for meg, som ikke har noen i familien jeg kan stole på, så var ikke det noe hjelp.

    Og de var nesten litt ufordragelige i tonen der og, syntes jeg, på ambassaden i London.

    Ihvertfall litt sånn på kanten av å være uhøflige synes jeg.

    Eller at var litt nedlatende da, husker jeg.

    For jeg ringte vel også den norske ambassaden i London, fra den parken som er der det bildet er tatt fra, av John Moores University da.

    Så sånn var det.

    Hi Sue,

    yes that sounds interesting.

    I’ve been working at a call-center earlier, taking calls on behalf of

    Microsoft, from

    Scandinavia.

    And I’ve also been working with customer-support, as a food-shop employee and

    manager, in Norway, for many years.

    So I think this sounds like a job that would suit me well, so please send more

    information about when you want me to start etc.

    Thanks again for your e-mail!

    Yours sincerely,

    Erik Ribsskog

    Hei,

    jeg bor i England, men jeg fikk en Facebook friend-request, fra ei

    dame i Stavanger, født i 1969,

    i dag.

    Og jeg kjenner ingen folk i Stavanger, så jeg kunne ikke skjønne hva

    det her var i forbindelse med.

    Jeg bor i England som sagt, og har ikke vært i Norge siden 2005.

    Men da sjekka telefonkatalogen på nettet, og ringte, og da var det

    dattera som svarte, som het Maren,

    sa hu.

    Og hu sa at mora ikke var hjemme.

    Men da var vel klokka nærmere halv elleve på kvelden.

    Jeg lurer på, mødre skal vel ikke være ute og fly hver kveld, klokka

    halv elleve osv.

    På en onsdag?

    Nei, det syntes jeg var rart.

    Og det var helt stille der, og det virka som at noe var galt syntes jeg.

    Nå er jo ikke det her min business, siden jeg bor i England osv.

    Men nå sendte jo mora Facebook-melding til meg, enda jeg ikke engang

    veit hvem hu er.

    Så hu mora er noe litt for gutte-gæern, tror jeg, og glemmer å passe

    på dattera si.

    Så her er det nok en sak for barnevernet, tror jeg, så derfor tenkte

    jeg at jeg burde sende

    dere en melding om det.

    Så sånn er det.

    Hi,

    I’ve been corresponding with a person who says he is an American P.I.

    living in London.

    (About some problems to do with some mafia, set up by Jens Christian

    Hauge, it seems, in Norway).

    But your citizen who calls himself Mr. Nick Ewans, (even if he says

    that this is not his real name).

    He now seems to be under control.

    Even if I call him things that are insulting, and explaines, that I

    don’t want anything more to do with him.

    Still he goes on.

    (Like a maniac, I think one have to say).

    So I think something must be wrong, if ‘Mr Ewans’, an American, who is

    from the mightiest country in

    the World, acts like a maniac.

    So I wanted to express to you my worry about this, that he could be

    under control.

    Yours sincerely,

    Erik Ribsskog

    PS.

    Here one can see the conversation, and that Mr. Ewans still went on,

    (a bit like a maniac), even if I

    wrote insults to him, to get him to stop:

    11:47 PM

    Ewans: hi Erik

    12 minutes

    12:00 AM

    Ewans: I think you should return to Norway. It’s safer there (my experience)

    me: who is this?

    Ewans: Nick Ewans

    12:01 AM

    me: where’s your name gone from the chat

    Ewans: ?

    You don’t see my name?

    me: it doesn’t say your name on the chat

    nope

    Ewans: weird

    Did you get my email?

    me: yes, i read your email

    12:02 AM

    Ewans: I’m in Oslo now

    me: i think it’s a bit strange, that you have turned 180 degrees in everything

    ok

    Ewans: I haven’t turned 180 degrees. But after spending more time

    investigating, I came to some new conclusions

    12:03 AM

    which I think are good news

    me: ok, i thought it was a bit strange that you spoke with my old

    coleguess, without asking me first

    12:04 AM

    Ewans: You’ve mentioned the name of a lot of them on your blog, so I

    had much background material (I can read Norwegian)

    me: ok, but you didn’t say that you spoke on behalf of me, i hope

    Ewans: No.

    me: and how can you know who to trust?

    Ewans: I don’t now, quite.

    12:05 AM

    But I’ve spoken to several people, and I feel I’ve reached a conclusin

    that is correct

    me: ok, but don’t you think it’s a bit strange, that the whole suburb

    of Bjørndal should be involved in a practical joke against me?

    12:06 AM

    Ewans: The whole suburb?

    me: practicly

    do they say that it was just a joke?

    Ewans: Please elaborate

    me: well i overheard about this from several people at Bjørndal

    12:07 AM

    and several people acted strange

    Ewans: yes, one of your former co-workers who remembered what happened

    told me it was a (silly) joke

    me: I overheard about it from at least four people

    Ewans: Well, I haven’t spoken to all of them, but

    me: why would two women in their 50’s, who i didn’t know, have a silly

    joke against me

    12:08 AM

    i don’t think this add up

    Ewans: I guess they could have heard of the joke from the others and

    repeated it, because they believed you believed it?

    me: are you sure that you haven’t been tricked by the people on Bjørndal?

    the two established women in their 50’s?

    12:09 AM

    you obviously don’t know how established Norwegian women act

    Ewans: I told them I was working on a book, I didn’t say I knew you

    personally or something like that

    I couldn’t identify the two women

    me: ok, but you are aware of that I’ve published our conversations on

    my blog, which is being read mostly in Norway?

    12:10 AM

    i don’t think this adds up

    Ewans: But I believe you may have been scared after hearing of it (the

    joke) and possibly "imagined" some of it (very usual)

    me: ok

    what about my father

    you said it was a dane

    have you got the file perhaps?

    how could you mix up my father with a dane?

    Ewans: No, I have the information from a bank-employee in Frankfurt

    12:11 AM

    me: I think you are a bit inpolite saying that this is just something

    I’ve imagined

    Ewans: I didn’t say that

    me: so I don’t think it’s any point of going on

    Ewans: Some people made a joke, obviously

    So there is some substance

    me: i also got my face distroyed

    was that also a practical joke?

    Ewans: an accident?

    12:12 AM

    me: I’m sorry Mr. Ewans, I doubt you a bit now

    Ewans: ok

    me: no, i think i have explained about that to you

    12:13 AM

    and the stuff with my grandfather

    Ewans: About your face?

    me: was that also a joke?

    yeah, I thought i had explained about it

    Ewans: No joke, but your sister isn’t persecuted because of that

    It’s a long time ago

    me: my sister?

    Ewans: most people are dead

    me: my sister is in on what

    Ewans: your sister is the grandchild of Johannes as well

    me: on whats going on

    yes, like my brother

    Ewans: yes

    12:14 AM

    me: but i don’t trust my sister

    she’

    Ewans: ok

    me: she

    she’s in on this the way i see it

    she

    she’s an illuminist i think

    Ewans: I see

    12:15 AM

    me: she was using a norwegian boy as a slave in Karl Johan

    Ewans: For how long has she been an illuminist, do you think?

    me: was that a joke as well?

    i dont know, ask the boy from Karl Johan

    i dont i should speak more with you

    Ewans: Idon’t know his identity

    12:16 AM

    why?

    me: you are obviously thinking that im imagening things

    we arent on the same level

    Ewans: No

    me: you speak down to me

    Ewans: I’m not thinking you are imagining everything

    me: thats my opinion

    Ewans: But some incidents may have other explanations

    me: my opinion is that you are speaking down to me

    ok?

    12:17 AM

    did that get throug?

    Ewans: I don’t feel it that way, it’s not my intention

    me: ..

    ok, but this is still my opinion

    ok?

    Ewans: Ok

    me: ok, so i say goodbye then

    ok?

    Ewans: Are you sure?

    me: now your doing it again

    Ewans: I would really like to speak to you some more

    12:18 AM

    me: piss off mr ewans

    piss off

    Ewans: I see

    me: fuck off

    Ewans: Why?

    me: blody yankee bastard

    Erik,

    I’m currently visiting Oslo, and have been investigating your case

    today, because it would indeed be highly interesting if a normal guy

    like you had been persecuted by the mafia. I’ve talked to some of your

    former co-workers and other people you’ve mentioned. It appears the

    incident in 2003 was meant as a joke, according to a former co-worker

    who had overheard it from someone, and was not seriously meant (I

    promised not to mention his name, because of your blog). I’ve also

    spoken to some people who know the "mafia", that is, Albanian (among

    others) criminals in Oslo. They could confirm that the criminals have

    no interest in you. It also appears that the incident in Kveld in 2005

    was not connected to you, it was just some people trying to capture(?)

    some animals, according to a local guy.

    My conclusion is that it is completely safe for you to return to

    Norway, should you wish to do so.

    I’ve also discussed the bank transfer with the guy in Frankfurt that I

    know, and there  seems to be a mistake. It was a Danish guy with

    almost the same name who received the money for two cars he sold to a

    company in Munich.
